Calling function from another function

Question

When I call func1 from func2, I get an error. Why is this occurring and how to access the returned dictionary d in func1 from func2?

func1()
NameError: name 'func1' is not defined

class ABC():
 def func1(self, a):
 d = {}
 ###do something with a
 ###return ending dictionary d
 return d
 def func2(self):
 ###Retrieve returned dictionary d from func1 and use
 func1()
 d['key'] = value

• Lukasz Wiecek: class ABC: parthensis are not needed here
• Lukasz Wiecek: d = self.func1() calling a method and setting returned value to d (although you could use a completely different name here, e.g. result = self.func1())

Answer 1

func1 and func2 are instance methods of ABC objects. You need to call them from the instance of such object. In your case, one such instance is self, first parameter of both functions. Thus, self.func1() will work.

Answer 2

Use self.func1() to call the function inside your class.
